Research has shown all 1999-2004 jeep grand cherokees with electronic dual climate controls (AC) will eventually require major repair in order to cure hot air/cold air blowing from vents when they're not set to do so. The cost to repair this issue, which has been known to pop up again after another 50k miles after repair, is generally $800-$1500 from a dealership. My jeep has this issue and it is caused by poor design from crysler, they use cheap plastic parts.
Tl*the contact owns a 2003 jeep grand cherokee. While driving with the cruise control set at 65 MPH, the vehicle suddenly accelerated to 85 MPH. The contact depressed the brake pedal, cancelled the speed control, and disconnected the cruise control button. The vehicle did not decelerate and the contact pulled off the road and turned off the vehicle. When the vehicle was restarted, all of the instrument panel lights illuminated. He turned off and restarted the vehicle again and it operated normally. He was able to drive home. The vehicle was taken to the dealer twice for the same failure. The throttle position sensor and crank vacuum hose were replaced after the first failure. The vehicle is currently back at the dealer for a diagnosis. The VIN, engine size, fuel system, number of cylinders were unknown. The current mileage was 55,000 and failure mileage was 53,800.

I have a 2003 jeep grand cherokee limited. I have had several problems with the ventilation system. Sometimes it will blow hot air when the air conditioning is on and sometimes it will blow cold air when the heat is on. I have now spent $1,100 in total related repairs for this and had to have my car in the shop for over2 weeks time total. I was told the last time that the manufacturer warrantied the defective part,the controller, and I was not charged. To me it sounds like the manufacturer is aware there is a defect. Even after the warranty repair it broke again one week later. I think it should be recalled.
Driver sdie blows cold air when heat is on, passenger side is blows hot. No corrections made at this time.
2003 jeep grand cherokee laredo the mode control located on the ventilation/air conditioning panel failed. The knob control functions in that it will shut the system/fan off but it will not divert the air to the passenger compartment and has stuck in the windshield vent position only. In addition the cruise control has malfunctioned in that when the cruise is turned on the light in the instrument cluster illuminates but when you try to set the speed control it does not function. I am not sure if these two situations are related but they both seem electrical. I will be taking it to the dealer to try and solve the difficulties.
Strange electrical issues start happening. My car wouldn't start and couldn't be jump started. Had to be towed to the dealer. The problem was a corroded positive battery cable lead. The battery cable assembly had to be replaced at a cost of $300.00. The car is two years old and I live in colorado. I fine it difficult to believe that a battery cable could corrode to the point of having to be replaced in two years. I believe that it is a defective cable not corrosion that caused my problem.
Dt: the wiring harness rubbed the chassis which resulted in the wires melting and exposing them which almost caused a fire. Smoke came from under the instrument panel from the fuse box area. The vehicle was taken to the dealership and fixed. The rear wiper didn't work because of the problem. *jb the dealer stated there was a major short in the wiring harness on the drivers side in two different locations.
My 23 month old was rolling up the window on the driver side of the car when her left hand ring finger was caught in the power window, between the window and the weather stripping. The window would not unroll. The power window failed to unroll.her finger was caught inside. We were finally able to pull the weather stripping enough to unroll the window. It nearly severed her finger. Her finger was broken and cut all the way around.
Transmission making noise 1 week after purchase, took it in every 2 weeks to have it fixed for first 2 months. Vehicle had 40,000 km. Chrysler dealership answer was for us to do transmission fluid change (our expense), did not stop the noise, gave up after we took vehicle back 5 times, terrible service. Heater motor failed within 1 week of purchase, replace motor switch, heater fan making noise. Rear end was rebuilt 2 times within first 2 months of owning vehicle. Struts needed replacing within first month. Smoke comes from engine when stopped (intermittent), wheel alignment within first month (our expense again). This is our first and last jeep/chrysler product.
Dt: consumer states: vehicle cuts off while going down the highway, no warning, doing almost 70 MPH. Nothing worked, and there were no brakes. The only thing working was the 4-way flashers. Tried to turn steering wheel and lost power steering. Another time went to turn in the position the wheels were and in that was the way the vehicle went. The repair shop mechanic said it needed a crank sensor. Previously, before they put in a fuse and it blew out.
Main problem is the steering. Ever since I've had the vehicle there have been four alignments conducted and each time the toe was out of specs. The first alignment was done at 1200 miles and recently just had another at 26000. Vehicle continues to pull right even though there have been four alignments. It is not a 4x4 and I do not drive off road with it. Dealership said they took apart all components of the steering and found no problems. No parts were replaced, only continuous alignments have been done. The battery all of a sudden went bad and had to be replaced. Have had electrical problems with the stereo. Problems with rpms almost going down to zero after filling the fuel tank, and problems with a delay of accelerating. Recently went to start vehicle and heard a pop and smelled smoke, I think it was the starter and I'm going to have that checked soon at the dealership.
Fan motor quit working disabling all HVAC including defroster. Dealer replaced resistor but said wiring harness needed to be replaced to complete repairs and part on back order. Resistor again failed on 12/3/03 and part still not available per whitten brothers jeep dealership, richmond, virginia. Vehicle unalbe to clear ice/frost from windshield (exterior and interior of windshield). As of 12/9/03 dealer says part still not available from chrysler/jeep.
